Great app for therapy clients, good info and easy to use. Suggestion: Is it possible to develop a 'panic button' widget that takes you straight to the breathing circle? One less barrier to accessing it easily when needed.
I've had this app on and off for awhile now and just the breathing alone helps me settle down and feel better
A bit confusing.. kinda put me more towards to hiperventalating then calming me down
simple and helpful! updates please
Handy tool for relief when in stress
the breathe function is an absolute life saver
Explanation gave a lot of confidence
Whoever built it is a genius....it works
Great help 😊
It's great for people new to dealing with anxiety, not so much if you're a seasoned veteran.
Out of many apps I've tried, this one offers the best options of coping mechanisms for anxiety and fears. Great app
This application has done more good for me in a few days than the NHS and camhs had done in 2 years THANK YOU
I love this app SSSOOOO MUCH!!!♡!♡!♡♡♡

Finally! An app that meets my simple needs! All I personally need is an app for breathing that i can change the pacing on, cheap or free. After about 12 apps, i had yet to find one where i could adjust the speed of the breathing prompts. My lungs are not in awesome shape, so i just cant maintain the ultra slow pace without getting light headed and more anxious because i need oxygen. This one lets me decide how long to breathe in, out, and set the pause! Its exactly what i needed!
